    Before you know it, it will be almost impossible to browse the internet normally without getting a visit from the feds for some bs reason. Guess we’ll all be using the dark net for everything.

        As it always was. The usenet alt.* address set was actually for Anarchists, Lunatics and Terrorists. The public will respond to internet prohibition the way it responded to alcohol prohibition (or abortion prohibition, or speeding prohibition, etc.) And to get technology to cover our tracks, yes, we’ll be making friends with terrorists, pirates and even collectors of CSAM and less accepted porn. Sellers of state secrets, too.

        However, these unsavory elements have way more in common with the regular public than politicians who want to persecute undesirables to further their careers, or law enforcement officers who are eager for any excuse to kill a poor person.
